Worldwide, pneumonia takes the lives of more young children than any other disease – more than 100 every hour of every day. The single biggest cause of fatal pneumonia in childhood is preventable with a vaccine.

Pneumonia is a preventable and treatable condition – prevention and treatment are essential elements in reducing child deaths globally. World Pneumonia Day is a chance to recognise that all children deserve access to clean air and water, lifesaving vaccines, and appropriate treatment of pneumonia.

To get involved this November:

• Organise you own fundraiser
• Donate to the foundation
